Actually we leave food out for the "night time" outside cats. Then we found out a skunk was visiting our porch so we had to pay dearly to have it hauled off and released. We started putting the food up on the picnic table to discourage other skunks from visiting. (not working so well so far...still have 1 that thinks he needs to visit often)
We had major major flooding this spring and all the animals seem to have lost their homes in the woody areas along the creeks and rivers and moved inland. We live at the very western edge of Kentucky and have many little creeks in our neighborhood so we figure it's not their fault they lost their homes and places to eat.
We tried to avoid feeding them but we have several feral cats we have fed for a few years that only come during the late night hours and didn't want to have them go hungry.
We have hauled off many possums and plan to relocate the raccoon babies when they are older but I found out today their range is 10 miles...yikes that is a long way to have to worry about them coming back.
Until then we have a wild kingdom on our porch that has given us quite a few laughs.
